In James 1:27, God calls us to care for the orphan. From making a meal, sponsoring a child, fostering or actually adopting a child into your family, you can play an integral role in caring for the orphan. What role will you play?

ASSIST

Better Together Foster Care Ministry: A ministry of Warren that exists to support and encourage the foster care community in the CSRA. Our goal is to equip the church in serving this community by forming care teams consisting of at least six individuals/couples. The goal of each care team is to provide daily prayers, weakly meals, and date night babysitting once or twice a month for the foster family served. For additional information or to join a care team, contact fostercare@warrenbaptist.org. or join our Facebook Group.

Operation Christmas Child: Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse that collects gift-filled shoeboxes each year and delivers them in the name of Jesus Christ to children in over 130 countries around the world. 2016 Collection Dates & Location

Swaziland Child Sponsorship: Warren partners with Timbutini and Ntabas CarePoints in Swaziland, South Africa.

ADVOCATE

Become a Foster Parent: We partner with Uniting Hope for Children (UH4C), faith-based, non-profit child placement agency that recruits, trains, and encourages foster families.

Orphan Hosting Program: There are several organizations in the Augusta area who facilitate hosting programs for orphans from other countries. Hosting programs provide children with an amazing opportunity to be loved by a family and see life outside their orphanage; and it connects potential forever families to these children who may never have had a chance at being part of a family.
